What To Watch This Week: One Of The Best Movies Of The Year Just Hit Netflix

Best Of The Rest

The Simpsons – 8:00-8:30pm / Fox / Sunday, November 16thAfter 26 years on our screens, it would only be natural for The Simpsons to lose some of its luster and yet, despite the occasional dud, the show continues to churn out great episodes. Episodes like tonight’s ‘Blazed and Confused’, which features a Willem Dafoe-voiced teacher and a Simpsons family trip to Burning Man. It’s no classic, but even when they're not at their best, Springfield’s finest make for spectacular Sunday night viewing.

The Late Show with David Letterman – 11:35-12:35am / CBS / Thursday, November 13thJon Stewart sits on the other side of the desk this week, as he stops by to chat with The Late Show host David Letterman. The acerbic Daily Show frontman is promoting his new movie, Rosewater, an intense drama about a journalist who was kidnapped and held in Iran after criticizing the country’s regime. Stewart wrote and directed the project, which is certainly a change of pace from his usual satirical shenanigans.

Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown – 9:00-10:00pm / CNN / Sunday, November 16thThis week, Bourdain makes for Jamaica in search of some feel-good fun and delicious Caribbean treats. During his travels, our intrepid host inevitably spends time exploring the legend of Bob Marley, as well as stopping by the home of James Bond author Ian Fleming, but the most engrossing aspect of this week’s installment is - by far - his exploration of the tourism industry and what it means for the island’s inhabitants. It’s a side portion of serious investigation among the show's hearty fare of fun and food.

Best StreamingSnowpiercer – NetflixYou might remember Korean director Bong Joon-Ho for his work on The Host, an enjoyably old-fashioned monster flick which scared the bejesus out of audiences back in 2009. Now he’s back with Snowpiercer, an ambitious project based on a French graphic novel by the name of Le Transperceneige. Set in a future where a failed attempt to stop global warming has caused a new ice age, the film follows survivors who live on a massive train that continuously circumnavigates the globe to keep them alive. It’s an intriguing setup and with a cast that includes the likes of Chris Evans, Jamie Bell and Tilda Swinton, Snowpiercer should be high on your list of streaming priorities this week.Best In SportsNBA Basketball: Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors – 8:00-10:30pm / TNT / Thursday, November 13thOne of last year’s surprise packages take on one of this year’s strongest starters, as the Toronto Raptors face the Chicago Bulls in a mouth-watering matchup that will attract fans and neutrals alike on Thursday night.
